For the first time in Haiti's
153 years of independence, she
will go to the polls practising
universal suffrage today.

One thousand polling booths
have been setup throughout the
country each to be administered
by representatives of the candi-
.dates selected by ballot.
Port-au-Prince, for instance
has 67 polls and Cap Haitian,
22. According to the Electoral
Decree issued by the Military
Council August 2'8, the number
of polls is based on the popuLa-
tion and supposedly they are
distributed accordingly. No poll
shall handle more than 1500
voters.
All of the candidates had ac-
cepted the decree as being libe-
ral and the best that could have
been devised under the present
conditions.

The only chance the people
have had to vote has been for
locaf officials and representa-
tives and in most of. these instan
ces the vote has been limited to
the elite and the army, with the
president's men counting the
ballots. The president has been
elected by the senators and re-
presentatives, the senators being
chosen by the representatives.
Or the president has come into
power by revolution.
Since the American Occupa-
tion which ended over 20 years
ago, there have been plebiscites
on constitutional changes, the
people having the right to vote
Yes or No. So September 22,
1957 marks an historic occasion
in Haitian political history.
Under the present Electoral
Law the first task of the" new
Congress will be to draft a new
or amended Constitution. The
new President, however, will be

inaugurated under the Constitu-
tion drafted by the Gonaive
I constituent Assembly of 1950.

The Electoral Decree of Au-
gust 28th issued by the 'Military
Government Council responding
to the wish'-of the majoriy has
suppressed, the irritating for-,
malities of inscriptions by the
electors before the vote.
This is perhaps perfect.
However in issuing this negati-
ve act of suppression, unfortunate-
"ly, the Military Government Coun i
cil did not come out with a posi-!
tive fact which would replace that
which has been destroyed.
Advance inscriptions allowed the
determining on.aproportional ba-
sis the number of voting bureaux.
Now that there will be no ins-
cription to fix the number of men
and women disposed to vote, what
will determine the formation of
these voting bureaux?
If you want to be logic, if you
want to prevent falling into fan-
tasy or arbitrary methods, there
is only one procedure to adopt
for the determining of the num-
ber of these bureaux: you niut re
fer to an official document: The
Bulletin of the Haitian Institute
of Statistics fixing the population

of the 1950 Census.

Lacking a strict copyright and the means of launching fa-
mous Haitian tunes in the United States, American music
makes are using our music under new names and lyrics.
With Caribbean songs and tunes breaking into U.S. hit pa-
rades and top tune lists, the hijacking of Haitian music has
soared out of proportion to the credit Haiti is receiving.
The best example of taking a Haitian tune and substituting
new lyrics is evident in what has happened to Haiti's beloved
song, KChoucounen, famous for 70 years since Poet Oswald
Durand and Musician Moliard'Montant composed the words
and music.
Harry Belafonte's album, eBelafonte'Sings of the Ca-
ribbean)), has a song ,Dont' Ever Love Me), which is unmis-
takably ,Choucoune. In addition, the Norman Luboff Choir's
album; ,Calypso Holiday), includes a song entitled ,Yellow
Bird" which also is certainly ((houcoune))
It is time that credit"was given where credit is -due, espe-
cially where Haitian culture is concerned, Some kind of con-
trol should, for the best interests of ,advertising)) our art, be
placed on songs borrowed frpm Haiti by foreign musicians.

CREATIVE AND
CORRECTIVE ACTION

All of the defects and defir
ciencies of whith M. Noustas
has spoken can be corrected
only by a strong General Mana-
gement, concerned not with the
success of favored individuals,
but with the success of Haitian
Tourism as a whole.
M. Noustas has ably instruc-
ted us albeit indirectly, upon
the matter of the workings of
General Management as supe-
rior in intelligence to, and pre-
Scedential in order to, Sales Ma-
nagement. His exceedingly intel-
ligent promotion of the Rue de
Bonne Foi as the &Tourist Shop-
Ping Streeta of Haiti is an ex-
Scellent example of what we
might call enlightened self-in-
teresta on the General Manage-
rial level of thinking.
Similarly his idea for establis-
Shing Haiti as the 4.Shopping
SCenter of the Caribbean' is ex
cellent. There is no doubt that
it will benefit his bitterest ene-
mies, but he is not afraid to
match wits with them on the
Sales Management level, once
Haiti is so established. He
knows, with a clarity unusual
upon t'le contemporary' seen?
that what it good for IHaiti is
good for La Be1ll Creole.

three or four months of so
doing. However, no one is going
to build such a beach if it means
more of the same kind of oppo-
sition which apparently has exis-
ted heretofore.
In short the first task for the
new President, if he really
wants to offer to visitors the fa-
cilities they can find elsewhere
in the Caribbean, must appoint
a strong Minister instructed to
support and strengthen the po-
sition of the facilities we have
at present, and to carry out
whatever actions are necessa-
ry to create the new ones, on a
profit-making basis. Only then
can Haiti be said to be moving
onward and upward toward that
goal of $ 20 millions in tourist
income in 1960.
